The university enhanced safety and security for the GW community.
Reporting Mechanisms
- GW’s Bias Incident Reporting: Provides students with a mechanism to seek informal resolution of concerns that do not constitute a violation of GW’s nondiscrimination policies.

- Equal Opportunity, Nondiscrimination, Anti-Harassment and Non-Retaliation Policy: Provides reporting options for faculty, staff, and students
Enhancing Campus Safety
GW works closely with District and federal partners to regularly assess our security and enhance safety measures on our campuses. For students, the Administrator On Call program remains available 24/7 to respond to, and offer guidance for, emergencies. The university also offers GW Safe Ride, which provides a free and safe ride to or from Foggy Bottom campus residence halls and academic buildings during late-night hours for students, faculty, and staff who prefer not to walk alone.
Building Access
Access control measures are regularly assessed and changed as needed to protect the GW community. Additional information by building is available on the GWorld website.
